Holly Willoughby's new Netflix show Celebrity Bear Hunt has finally confirmed its official celebrity line-up.

The star-studded reality show is set to launch on the streaming giant with eight action-packed episodes in February.

Strictly Come Dancing's Shirley Ballas, former Spice Girl and America's Got Talent judge Mel B, and The Inbetweeners star Joe Thomas are among the celebrities who will have to navigate the Central American jungle as they battle it out in the new reality competition.

The celebrity cast will be chased down as prey for one of the world's most fearsome predators: Bear Grylls. If they are captured, they face elimination from the show.
